Description

Here is an unparalleled invitation to explore the legendary Maghreb, the "Land of the Setting Sun," which stretches in a crescent from Tunisia westward to Morocco. This popular region, where Arab, African, and European influences blend in a rich overlay, includes exotic ports of call such as Casablanca, Tangier, Algiers, and Tunis, steeped in history from the Roman ruins of Carthage to the Saharan town of Tamanrasset in Algeria. Adventuring in North Africa guides travelers through the region's rich cultural and geographic diversity in a vivid, backroad journey to mountain villages, isolated beaches, and desert outposts. Visitors can choose from a multitude of adventures, from skiing Morocco's Atlas mountains to trekking in Algeria's Hoggar mountains to exploring the Maltese Islands in the Mediterranean. Filled with solid information and the author's frequently amusing anecdotes about life in North Africa, this comprehensive guide offers a fascinating tour of the region's geography, climate, natural history, Arab and Berber history, culture, and religious practices. It provides practical tips on travel logistics, outdoor adventures, health precautions, special considerations for women travelers, and more. Archaeological and historical explorations range from prehistoric cave paintings deep in the Sahara to the medieval town of Ghardaia in Algeria.
